I speak solely of the leadership ... as buttressed primarily by the "I'm personally opposed BUT" politicians...

And you see it at every level of politics. I observe the "conservative Democrats" and the "moderate Republicans" always vote for every liberal policy and tax increase they can find. The main difference between them and real Lefties is that they seem to know what they are voting for is basically wrong.

Sometimes, it's hard to figure out who is worse, the real liberal who leads the charge or the RINO/"conservative Democrat" who helps them to achieve the Left agenda.

I couldn't care less about "personality".

You understand why I said that, I'm sure. There is a coterie of those here at FR that love Bush doing something when they would have screamed bloody murder if it was Clinton. A lot of it comes down to our-guy-or-their-guy, not to any principles or policies. And I don't think you're part of a personality cult. Too bad more people don't pursue policy and principle instead of personalities.
